'Hell's Kitchen' recap: Failure is the only option

'Hell's Kitchen' recap: Failure is the only option

I imagine it would be interesting to be the sound editor on Hell's Kitchen. No matter what you do, the showrunner's instructions are always: Louder! More dramatic! I don't care if it's just overcooked duck, I want the background music to sound like the theme from Speed! Even the most mundane comments are spiced up with crazy sound effects. The chicken's cold.Â Explosion! Hm, it's mild.Â Laser blast! The scallops will take about two to four more minutes.Â Triple car crash and a man's scream!

They don't manufacture drama anywhere else quite like they do on Hell's Kitchen, and tonight's two hours of failure, expletives, and more failure was no exception.
